Turkey's most popular online music service since 2008, fizy, has launched a new era in
the field of interactive broadcasting. It is turning the users into radio hosts by
offering a legal platform consisting of millions of songs. 'Fizy live' can be accessed
through browsers without requiring a plug-in, or any extra programs. Users can choose from
a wide range of music to create a playlist of their own to share with listeners. The only
requirement is for the users to register on http://www.fizy.com free of charge, click
on the 'start broadcasting' button, choosing from a prepaid list of songs and start wiring
the list through any of the social media channels such as Facebook and Twitter.



Fizy is one of the most important platforms that not only helps to protect the
copyrights of the music industry, but also contributes to its growth. Through the strength
gained by Turkcell's support in 2010, fizy now has 3 million registered users with 30
million unique visitors each year, offering special events such as listening to certain
albums before they hit the shelves, or else to available online concerts. Now users will
be able to interact, while enjoying all of the other features of fizy.



Note: The application is currently available in Turkey and further investments are to
follow in other countries.
